The study method was descriptive-analytical from a typology point of view, and a field survey was used. The study method was descriptive-analytical from a typology point of view, and a field survey was used. Findings showed that aesthetics components, especially at the road leading to the Sabze Meidan pedestrian zone held the highest average rates due to its spatial identity path readability, visual elements, traditional and modern architecture, activity and functional diversity, natural and artificial elements, such as memorial statues, the Grand Mosque, bazaar, and the Sabze Meidan Park, which increased landscape perception because of people’s presence in various hours of the day.
